@cspanofficial: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday condemned white supremacy when asked about Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) reluctance to call white nationalists racists. “White supremacy is simply unacceptable in the military and in our whole our country,” Sen. McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill. Sen. Tuberville, appearing on CNN on Monday night, was the given the opportunity to clarify previous remarks he made in which he seemingly advocated for white nationalists to serve in the military. The Alabama senator said he rejected racism but pushed back on host Kaitlan Collins when she said that white nationalists, by definition, are racists because they believe their race is superior to others. Sen. Tuberville said that was merely an opinion. “My opinion of a white nationalist — if somebody wants to call them a white nationalist — to me, is an American. It’s an American,” he said. “Now, if that white nationalist is a racist, I’m totally against anything that they want to do, because I am 110% against racism.” #mitchmcconnell #mcconnell #tommytuberville #senate #capitolhill #cspan
